    "content": "The impact of the NG-CDF in the country cannot be gainsaid. That is why we need to have all encompassing audits. The audits should not be only about money, but should also be about value for money, what is achieved and how much is being achieved. I dare say that we should start comparing the audit reports from county governments and the NG-CDF. You will find, like Hon. Kioni said earlier, that the money that goes to administering NG-CDF is very small: 5 to 6 per cent. From Ksh100 million, we can only use Ksh5 million for administration. Contrast that with the county government fund where we are now using around 80 or 90 per cent of the money in wage bills and running cost, and having only 10 per cent for development. That is why I agree with Members who have said that if we could emulate the structure of NG-CDF in county planning and in county development, we will save a lot of money for development and reduce the bureaucracy that goes with employment and running costs. At the county level, we have the governor and the deputy governor, some people called ministers and other officers. All these have cars with running costs. How I wish that the country would get the NG-CDF framework as the SI unit for planning for development projects in this country."
